Meet the Hawks Frehsman Jacob Karker


Hi, my name is Jake Karker and I'm a freshman at Hartwick. I'm from Schoharie NY, a small town about an hour west of the college. Besides basketball, I enjoy playing golf, video games, ping pong, and watching sports.

At Hartwick, I'm currently a double major in accounting (CPA) and business. My college experience so far has been enjoyable. All of the professors at the college have given me individual attention while everyone on the basketball team has been welcoming and kind.
